It was truly miracu- lous how this man of shy disposition, found words in putting forth his plans for improving Branton Hillstown of his birth. It’s from Lady Standish, who says that way back in school days, you and ” “Whoa!!

I had a Christmas card for Mis- souri go way down to Mississippi! I can think of nothing so satis- fying as doing public good in as many ways as an official can.
